(FOX NEWS INSIDER) - A California businessman on layover at Ireland's international airport thought things looked "lopsided" when he saw a group of 400 U.S. troops sitting on the floor eating out of paper bags, while civilians dined at fancy bistros.

So he decided to do something about it.

"I figured, I want to make the picture look a little better, and offered them $50 apiece to go to those restaurants and have a warm meal on me," Shlomo Rechnitz said on "Fox & Friends."

Rechnitz also offered words of appreciation for the soldiers. A video of that has gone viral, picking up over 400,000 views.
